If you have high blood sugar levels, here are some steps you can take to manage it:

  • Medication: Follow your doctor's instructions regarding insulin or oral medications.
  • Diet: Focus on a balanced diet with low glycemic index foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys flush out excess glucose.
  • Monitor: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

If high blood sugar persists or you experience symptoms like extreme thirst, frequent urination, or fatigue, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
